The ability to be flexible with your work will be an important part of the role. You will also be responsible for project delivery and providing regular updates to your line manager and WMG’s Verification and Validation leadership team.

The V&V team, work from fundamental research, to applied research, the development of policy, standards and regulation, direct commercial research, and professional education offerings. Our programme of work is having a material impact on the creation and application of novel safety assurance methods across emerging technologies: with its foundation in Connected and Autonomous Vehicles (CAV’s) and extending across transportation domains (i.e., aviation, land, marine) and novel technologies (i.e., AI). We are proudly enabling a new wave of technological progress by working with partners worldwide.

The V&V group is globally recognised, with the research and engineering teams siting on global standards & regulatory committees as the UK representatives (i.e., ISO TC 204/WG14 and ISO TC22/ SC33/ WG9), being lead author of international standards on self-driving shuttles/ pods, and contributing to many more standards (i.e., ASAM OpenODD, OpenLABEL, BSI 1889 & BSI 1883). Along with having developed the world’s largest public database of test scenarios for CAV’s, Safety Pool™ Scenario Database, and leading on a pillar of the UK Governments pioneering CAM Test Bed programme, Midlands Future Mobility.
